meanwhile, republicans are kicking up some same old bogus arguments this morning, senator mitch mcconnell used the old, you can't raise taxes on the job creators. he made that pitch again. he asked senator harry reid for two votes. one of the president's plan and one on a republican plan to extend tax cuts for people of all income levels. majority leader harry reid denied the request. he argued the gop vote would really do nothing but obstruct the president's plan and give massive tax breaks to the people who really don't need them in our economy. a vote will come soon on obama's plan. and it should pass as long as the republicans play ball. but remember, we've seen a record number of filibusters. stay tuned. for more, let's turn to "new york times" columnist charles bloke, mark simone, and ary melber. mark, let me ask you first, why is it? why is it that the republicans want to continually protect the top 2% in the country? >> i don't trust either side on this. it's not going to be great either way. the bush tax cuts were only for the wealthy, just for the rich, but 98% of it went to the

you know mitch mcconnell, kind of a jowly guy. he's my favorite politician by far, and not just because of his good looks or his southern charm. it's because mitch mcconnell is the most honest man in washington. you ask almost anyone else in a position of power on capitol hill why they're doing, what they're doing, and you get spin, spin, and more spin. they're reaching across the aisle to make the country better, that freedom is the most important freedom, then you think about the children and the freedom, and et cetera, et cetera. meanwhile, they got done ten minutes before that meeting with six mega donors and the way they're voting on the amendment because they're settling a score they have been nursing since the 2005 budget fight. mitch mcconnell is not really like that. he tells you what's going on. when he speaks i have learned to listen. in fact, of every politician and i'm not joking about this, he's the one i listen to the most closely because his mixer of power and honesty maim hick the best guy to what is going to happ

the republican leader of the senate mitch mcconnell said republicans number one goal was to make barack obama a one term president. they wouldn't cooperate to create jobs they would try to turn around the economy they wouldn't do anything but stand in the way of president obama. now i've had a front row seat to watch the tea party take over the republican party. for three and a half years they wouldn't govern they couldn't lead and we shouldn't let them take over the senate on the white house. saying the we must stop the tea party before the united states senate falls into the hands of extremists and ideologues who leave no room for reason or compromise who don't recognize common ground even when they're standing on. the ng and if they won't stand up to rush limbaugh or grover norquist what would make him. one thing they would stand up for you to is see today's republican party believes in two sets of rules one for millionaires and billionaires and another for the middle class. and this year they've nominated the strongest proponent and clearest beneficiary of this rig game mitt romney.
